I’ve thought about pulling it all up, save for what little I can identify. I’m thinking about leaving the clover in, since that’s supposed to be good for getting nitrogen into the soil, right? Until this year, the entire area was covered in kudzu, and had been for probably at least the last five years, so I expect it’s a little drained of nutrients.

Actually, i think kudzu is considered a nitrogen fixer. it’s technically a legume.

although strawberries generally prefer crappy soil, in my experience. they prefer an acid soil, so mulching with those weeds you pulled would be a good start.

but yeah. leave whatever you can identify. but makes sure you give the strawberries a chance to breath a bit. red clover is generally thought of as a nitrogen fixer as well, although to such a small degree that the effects either way are very minimal. the clover flowers themselves make a very good snack, or cup of tea. it is usually included in whatever ‘male tonics’ blends they sell at the store, and supposedly boosts your ‘fertility’ if your looking for that kind of thing.

so, did you pull the weeds?

MULCH!!!!!!

I will. One day.

Tomorrow will be a great day for pulling weeds, biodynamically speaking, of course.

Better weed pulling after rain.

why must you insist on ruining this thread, Chris?

How’s the garden going Steve?
